THE WHEELS JUST FELL OFF
TMC NEWS PHOTOS / BRIAN WOODSLorain – Firefighters in Lorain will be without their only aerial truck for an undetermined amount of time after a set of wheels came off of Tower One Tuesday night while responding to an alarm call.
Firefighters were responding to a residential fire alarm Tuesday night when they made a turn onto Kolbe Road off of West Erie. Shortly after the turn the nearly 7 year old truck lost one set of dual rear wheels.
The two Firefighters that were on board at the time were not injured.

Who's responsible for maintaining the fire departments equipment? What are the possible causes of this?
I am glad that no one was injured but if this is the 2nd time for a FD truck to have this happen in our county we need to try and understand and prevent this from happening again if its possible.
